The Wait

The wait from insemination to the day you find out you are pregnant is an interesting one. If you are like me wishing to see "signs" of pregnancy instead of patiently waiting for the 2 weeks to be over you may just go nuts.

I am on this site called fertility friend where you track your periods and insemination etc. So I plot down my BBT and all the signs that I am thinking I am feeling. For the past week I have had cramps like you get when your period is about to come. Daily and sometimes at specific times of the day. I test my breasts to see if they are tender, I watch my moods to see how they are. Nothing truly can tell you that you are positive until you take the test, despite all the info out there from other hopeful moms.

As for me the wait ended with a negative pregnancy test... despite all the pregnancy symptoms I had thought I had. Like tender breasts, cramps, exhaustion, delayed period and some bouts of heartburn.

On to the next trial....
